To this discovery succeeded some others equally mortifying Written by Margaret S (5/3/2007 10:25 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, What symptoms of lost control is there in Chapter 6?, penned by Robbin

I don't think he is mortified because he was wrong but because he lost control over his feelings.

He does not know that Elizabeth is not going to abuse the power she has over him.
